Employers are looking for skilled workers to smooth the transition out of the European Union, pushing the number of professional jobs available in the UK up 7pc in the last three months.

According to recruitment firm Robert Walters, job volume growth was strongest in supply chain accounting and procurement roles, where the number of jobs available compared to last year was 15pc and 13pc higher respectively.

This was driven by the need to work out new ways of trading with overseas firms in light of changes to Britain’s trade agreements, the firm said.
